YES!

Just to give you a different perspective,

I bought G3 about a year ago, and i have used the sim relatively diligently since I bought it. I think it totally depends on how you train on the sim.
I learnt how to land almost every plane in the sim, and I played with doing so in different conditions. Turbulence, wind ect...

Two months ago I bought my first model, a Hobico Avistar 40, and solo flew it since no one would train me without an AMA license.

I went out to a narrow dirt road and solo’d my very first flight and landed the plane with ease and no bouncing. I think formal training is BS and overrated, im sure a lot of instructors feel threatened by the new sims and heavily promote their business. But if you practice the sim correctly for a long enough period of time, than the answer to your question is yes, absolutely. I did it myself.

Now, two months after my first flight, I have solo’d a TT40 H9 twist, and a ¼ scale Edge 540.

All with ease, no problems. Maybe im a natural, dut I don’t see what all the fuss is about.
